I just managed to connect using Ubuntu 10.10 so here is what I did.

By default, the BT Home Hub comes with WPA-PSK using an hexadecimal key, rather than an alphanumeric one. Network Manager, as...

I've got the same problem on Lucid. The author seems to be more interested in getting it included in Anjuta 3.0 by default. At the end of the day, Vala is a very new language so tools are still...

Brilliant!

I'm not sure that changing to netbook will solve your problem because netbook is just a few packages installed on top of standard Ubuntu.

The USB Startup Disk Creator seems to be a bit temperamental but I eventually managed to coax it into creating a bootable USB stick from an ISO and I now have Karmic on my Eee PC. Here's a screenshot...

Agreed, it would be nice if this page which is pointed to in step 2 of the download instructions were consistent with the format of the download. So for anybody out there wondering how to create the...

This did the trick for me on Jaunty (without needing the backport as the version of svn in Jaunty is already 1.5.4). Thanks!

Ah yes, sorry, if you don't have PATH set correctly, it won't find grep. Do what unutbu suggests and post the output here.

If you wanted to get rid of the backups on your drive, why use GParted and not just delete the files? Can you open GParted again while the drive is connected and post of screenshot of the window...

From your description, I assume that you have GRUB installed in the MBR of the master drive but because Ubuntu is installed on the slave drive, it needs to be able to read from it in order to present...

So the function you are looking for should be in one of those 3 files. curl won't help because it is a non-interactive tool like wget and is not able to run javascript.

In practice, what you need...

Here's the howto on pinning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto

However, before you do that, can you ensure that you file a bug in launchpad with the details of what doesn't work...

That sounds like a toast HDD indeed! So I suggest you backup as much of your files as you can on an external drive, a USB key or any other external device. It should then just be a case of replacing...

From the code you posted above, the page you want to download uses AJAX to update its content, which makes it very difficult to reproduce with wget because wget is a non-interactive tool whereas AJAX...

I agree with 3rdalbum: locking your screen when you leave your computer is a good habit to take. You even have a keyboard shortcut to do that: CTRL+ALT+L

No, that's not normal. Looking at the value of the PATH variable, it looks like some script, some command you've run or something in your .bashrc file was meant to append...

There are many ways to do this.

First, the simple way. When you install Ubuntu, it will give you the option to use the whole drive. If you select that option, it will wipe out the drive and...

All command line shells find where executables are located through an environment variable called PATH. This variable contains a colon delimited list of directories that the shell looks into in order...

Jaunty has a built-in tool for this. Go to: System -> Administration -> USB Startup Disk Creator. Select the source ISO in the top list by either inserting a CD or clicking 'Other' and selecting a...

The Ubuntu repositories include the pfstools and pfstmo packages that provide the pfstools HDR and tone mapping utilities. However, there seems to be no package for the pfscalibration tools, such as...

Try to give it the fully qualified path instead: /home/USER/JSMS/JSMS.sh

Yes, if it pings it means that your network interface works. So boot on the live CD and install to hard disk. It will give you an option to resize the Windows partition and install Ubuntu next to it....

Sorry, I forgot: if ping works, it will keep running until you stop it: just press CTRL-C to do so.

Run the 5 lines I posted last. If ping works, you should see something like this (obviously with your address rather than mine):


bruno@nuuk:~$ ping 192.168.1.252
PING 192.168.1.252...

Note that you have two potential packages for NTP: ntpdate will just adjust the date when requested or in a cron, while ntpd will run as a daemon. So you could try this:


sudo /etc/init.d/ntp...
